2012 Olympic Wrestling, Wrestling at the 2012 Summer Olympics will be held between 5 and 12 August, the final day of the Games, at ExCeL London. It will be split into two disciplines, Freestyle and Greco-Roman which are further divided into different weight categories. Men will compete in both disciplines whereas women will only take part in the freestyle events, with 18 gold medals being awarded. Wrestling has been contested at every modern Summer Olympic Games except Paris 1900.

19 men or 18 women will compete in each division, plus 6 others allocated either to the host country or by the tripartite commission into divisions yet to be determined. Wrestlers determined by lot will compete in qualification rounds to reduce the number to 16, thereafter proceeding by simple knockout to determine the finalists who will compete for gold and silver. The two groups of wrestlers respectively defeated in the 3 or 4 bouts of the two finalists will compete in two serial elimination repechages, with the victor in each repechage being awarded bronze.
